Built around included shore excursions that immerse you in each destination through exclusive access to cultural experiences, our river cruises explore the very heart of Europe: along entire length of the Danube from the North Sea to the Black Sea; the Rhine, Main and Moselle rivers in Germany; the Maas in the Netherlands; the Albert and Main-Danube canals; and the Rhône, Saône and Seine rivers in France.

The Tauck Destination Fleet features spacious, comfortable cabins and suites; personalized service rivaling that of a premium hotel; fine European-style shipboard dining with a choice of dining venues; and up to four times the number of suites as other European lines. Our custom-designed riverboats include five 361-foot ships and four 443-foot ships accommodating no more than 130 guests.

Club-Like Atmosphere
Maintaining the same high standards of comfort and quality we’ve featured aboard our ships since Tauck River Cruising began, Tauck’s custom-designed riverboats carry on our tradition of providing the most space per guest for an intimate, club-like atmosphere.

Our river cruise experience revolves around four cornerstones: Uncommon Access on our included shore excursions blending in-depth sightseeing with Tauck Exclusives; All-Inclusive Value, with virtually every expense included in one upfront price; Personalized Cruising based on caring service from four Tauck staff on every cruise; and the Intimate, Club-Like Atmosphere of our custom-designed riverboats

A Typical Day Aboard ms Treasures

Your day starts with breakfast onboard… sharing your favorite table by the window with the couple you became friends with at your welcome dinner… enjoying your favorite buffet selections just the way you like them… along with great views of the passing riverscapes and lighthearted conversation with your companions. The riverboat docks right around the time you’re finished with breakfast; you couldn’t have asked for better timing…

As you step off the ship, our local experts eagerly await to show you around the centuries-old city they call home; soon it may feel like home to you as well. You’ll spend the rest of your morning exploring the city with your local guide, discovering one wonder after another along cobblestone streets so different from those you’re used to back home. You might decide to stay ashore for lunch – maybe checking out that famous local sausage stand the next block over – or return to the riverboat for lunch onboard. If it’s a warm day, the ship’s staff will greet you with a cool towel and a cold drink upon your return (or hot towels and a hot drink if it’s a tad chilly). Maybe you’ll indulge in a glass of wine as the riverboat sets off to its next destination… as you wave farewell to the town you just got to know… and love.

Your riverboat won’t arrive at your next port of call for a few hours, so you have some time to explore your “floating hotel.” After lunch, you spot the couple from this morning about to take a dip in the Jacuzzi. “Like to join us?” they ask. You say you’d love to, and are soon relaxing and chatting as you bask in the sun, sipping a cool drink. Refreshed, you head into the lobby just in time to watch the riverboat dock; dinner tonight may be something you have never experienced before… an elegant, private affair in a baroque palace…

Walking to the palace, your Tauck Director and local guide fill you in on the history that surrounds you. Your jaw drops as you enter the magnificent building – you recognize it from the movies! – and are escorted to the site of your Imperial Evening. The couple you had breakfast with joins you, bringing along some new friends. You’re all transported back in time as costumed musicians play, dancers swirl, singers perform a Mozart aria, and an army of white-gloved servers reveal each course of your sumptuous meal with a flourish of military precision. You don’t want the evening to end, but alas, it must. As you depart the grand hall, you notice the city lights reflecting on the river, and choose a riverside bench to sit on for a few moments’ reflection of your own… another Tauck experience to check off on the “wow” list…

You and your companions head back to the riverboat via a quiet, less-traveled route that lets you take in the magic of the city’s skyline one last time. Back on board, you take a moment to send a quick note about your day to the folks back home, then meet some friends for a little more camaraderie around the piano in the lounge before calling it a night. Later, drifting off to sleep, you smile… realizing that you’ll soon be waking up in another magical city… to embark on another perfect day of your Tauck river cruise…

Dine on fine, freshly prepared cuisine with regional wines and beer included at lunch and dinner onboard, with attentive, friendly service – plus regional treats and tastings – as you enjoy great views of the passing scenery in our panoramic main dining room.

Looking for something different during free time ashore? Your Tauck riverboat is equipped with bicycles that you and your companions can use for independent exploration along the riverside, past lush vineyards, through a historic village or wherever your heart takes you.

Whether you’re looking to make a gala night ashore last just a little longer after your return to the riverboat, swap stories of the day’s adventures, or enjoy a nightcap with new friends you just met at dinner, the lounge is a perfect place to kick back and relax.

As you cruise, the riverboat’s comfortable public spaces are ideal spots for socializing or simply relaxing as you glide past the remarkable scenery along Europe’s rivers – meeting your shipmates for a cocktail, kicking back in the Jacuzzi or chatting as you bask in the sun.

The gracious aft lounge in the stern of your riverboat sports an innovative 180° curved glass wall that opens to the fresh air (weather permitting) – and doubles as a second dining venue featuring classic favorites and lighter fare.

Your health and wellness options aboard the riverboat include taking time to pamper yourself with a soothing treatment available in the ship’s spa... a massage, perhaps, or a variety of relaxing and rejuvenating spa therapies.
